Re: Do you go to church?

But usually, especially where religion is concerned. You have faith that your chosen belief is true or you don't, and since it contradicts what most everybody else's faith says *since if they were all the same there wouldn't be an issue of religion vs. religion*, it's pretty hard to figure they're both true.

That's why religion is such a touchy subject and why so many ppl take it to such extreams: if you truely have faith, you feel you and those who agree are right and everybody else is mislead and MAY go to hell for it. Many make it their personal mission to 'save' everybody else. I don't take them seriously because I am grounded in my own beliefes; however I remeber that it's their love and hopes of 'saving' me that they try to change my opinion; so as long as it stays civil I don't have a problem

Re: Do you go to church?

True Christians should try to witness (not convert there is a difference) everywhere they have the chance.I believe as you do Karson. I am a bit wild and rough around the edges and most churches dont sit right with me but I believe in god and heaven and hell. I believe that there arent enough people who will SHOW someone how to live rather than TELL someone how to live. Most christians would rather tell than show. I think you have shown remarkable bravery and strength to express your faith in a place where it could be rejected and thrown in your face. I would encourage you to accept others faith and to SHOW them a reason to be a part of yours. I have never found any writings (including the bible) that said we should chastise someone for having a different faith as they will most likely believe it fully. I think faith should be encouraged and that we should accept people more before we try to "Convert" them. Most people are chased away from christianity by the fact that christians are to judgemental. I applaude your faith and strength and would love to see more people of our faith be more like you.You have my props my young fellow.

Re: Do you go to church?

I go. But I feel it is a choice of the person. We should not condemn others. All religions are great if they make you a better person. Also if you havent a religion that is fine too. Just be a good person.

Re: Do you go to church?

God gave us free will. Whether we chose to follow Him or not God still loves everyone. God doesn't condemn others until the day of judgment comes. We are all His creations, so why would he WANT to condemn us? It pains Him to condemn us, he created us.

Re: Do you go to church?

I don't know if God is real,but you can't just deny so much scientific evidence that just proves the Earth is much older tha 6.000 years old.Everyone is entitled to their opinion.I don't know what is going on out there, and honestly, I don't care. It's too big and our life is too short too understand it.

Re: Do you go to church?

i know the earth is 4 billion years old man, it's just that the church used to actually accept the fact that the earth was only relatively 6,000 years old and believed that people and dinosaurs lived together. jk

Re: Do you go to church?

I don't go to church although I have been once because I promised myself I would try everything once and try to be open minded. It wasn't really my thing, after all, I'm not religious. Sure, I believe in God, but I also believe in evolution. I'm just not a religion fan, after all, there are so many religions that are almost exactly alike that I really think people made a lot of it up. I'm sorry, I hope I don't offend anyone, these are just my views.

Re: Do you go to church?

What scientific proof is there that the earth is millions of years old? Why shouldnt christians believe that dinosaurs walked the earth the same time as man? It is spoken of in the bible before the exhumation of dinosaur skeletons was ever considered. What of the proof that the earth ISNT millions or billions of years old?

Re: Do you go to church?

The age of the earth matters to us because our faith tells us the age of the earth. It matters becaus christian based science is based on the idea that the earth is no older than about 10,000 years tops. It matters because a great many people have used "science" to try to disprove that god exists and it is our job to point out the sort of falsehoods that lead people astray.
